While Fibroid Is A Disease Of Black People - Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, MD/CEO Healthcare Herbal Products

In the Nigerian natural health industry, Healthcare Herbal Products occupies a front roll seat. The company has become an indigenous house hold name herbal products development and manufacturing organization. The Vision of the company, which has been in existence for the past 35 years, is to be the foremost herbal health products provider in Nigeria, Africa and the world. This goal is gradually being achieved as products from the company continues to make waves across continents – A fact that made the global cable network, CNN, to feature a documentary on Healthcare Herbal Products for five days.

In this interview with Nigeria Natural Online editor, Dumbiri Frank Eboh, the founder of Healthcare Herbal Products, Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, speaks on the making of the Healthcare brand, the various herbal formulations in its kitty as well as issues bothering the practices of natural medicine in Nigeria. Excerpts.

On Himself

My name is Dr. Bola Olaosebikan OON, the founder of Healthcare Herbal Products, Healthcare Publications Limited and Healthcare Resources. It’s a conglomerate of health organisations promoting health and also giving out herbal products so that people can enjoy natural health. Healthcare has been on for 30 years, the herbal aspect has been on for 15 years. In all, we have 15 products all approved and registered by NAFDAC. Personally, I am a medical doctor, I graduated in 1981 from the University of Ibadan. I have practiced as a doctor for 35 years. I have also found out that alternative medicines are also important; so I studied it and began to produce herbal based products and today, Healthcare products are known all over the world.

Combining Science and Nature

As a doctor who studied in Nigeria, I know the disease pattern in Nigeria, something we called Epidemiology. At Healthcare, we combine science and nature. Some of the diseases that are prevalent in Nigeria include hypertension, diabetics, obesity and so many others. In terms of family health, Many women are facing issues relating to Fibroid, which is actually a tumor growing inside the womb. And it has now been discovered that Fibroid is a disease that affects only black people, white women do not have it. This may be due to something in our skin that also makes us to have colloids, which makes the tissue in the skin of black people stronger and tougher than that of the white. For various reasons, a woman’s hormones may not be balanced or she does not take in on time and the uterus now grows false pregnancy. We have medicine that prevents, reduces and destroys fibroid.

Sometimes you found that the tube of a woman is blocked. I mean the Fallopian tube where the eggs pass through. We have developed up to four products to help women with blocked fallopian tube. On the side of the men, there are also issues relating to fertility, especially low sperm count. Of course you know that without sperm, a woman cannot get pregnant no matter how fertile she is. The sperm must come in to meet the egg before fertilization can take place. In Nigeria, about 40 to 50 percent of men have low sperm count. This is most times due to stress, environmental factors, changes in temperature occasioned by climate change. Even the cloth that people put on can contribute to low sperm count; people who wear light or nylon pants are prone to low sperm count. At Healthcare, we have developed particular products to solve the problem of sperm count as well as a host of other fertility issues facing men.

Specific Products For Specific Problems

Our products are focused of taking care of specific, particular problems. Even where a woman is not ovulating, we have a solution for it. A woman should ovulate and get pregnant one day in a year. What I mean is: the day a woman ovulates is the day she is ripe to get pregnant and a woman can get pregnant only once in a year if nothing happens to that pregnancy. Many women don’t ovulate or ovulate irregularly. Apart from these, a woman may ovulate and the ovulation may not stand, leading to implantation. Is like when you are trying to build a house, there must be good blocks and good cementing otherwise the structure would not stand. Some women face this problem wherein even if the egg is released, it is not planted in the wall of the womb. At Healthcare, we have a medicine that addresses that problem.

The Case For Infections

We also have products that tackle infections. Infections such as bacteria infections, virile infections, paracific infections; urinary track infections, all of which cause one form of disease or the other in the human body – we have medicines that take care them. Even the one that is called staphylococcus have been conquered here by our herbal formulation. For many years, people were calling me, asking me to formulate a natural cure for staphylococcus because orthodox medicines have tried in vain to battle it.  But we have successful brought staph on its knees here.

We have products for typhoid and malaria. These are tropical diseases which are found only here. Europeans don’t have malaria or typhoid because these are diseases of the tropics. Of course I must tell you that the best medicine for malaria is natural medicine, not chemical products because these have failed over the years to solve the problems of malaria. This is a scientific fact.

Boosting The Body’s Immunity

We also have products that boost immunity. Immunity is something that God has put in our body to fight against diseases and infections. This immunity sometimes is bought down and the body can no longer fight harmful invaders. You must not also forget that the Father of Medicine, a man called Hippocrates once advised that our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food. In those days, of course there were no drugs – treatments were basically and mainly nutritional. And till this day, that facts has not changed. Herbs that come inform of good, fruits and vegetables are actually what the body needs to boost its immunity. And this immunity is something we must consciously boost at all times whether or not we are ill. You don’t wait until you get sick before you defend your body. It is much the same way that a country cannot wait until there is a war before it can constitute its armed forces to defend the territory. We have immune boosters that help to rejuvenate the cells and fortify the body against foreign invaders.

Alleviating Bone Pains, Irregular Menstruation

We have medicine for bone pains. You know that as people age, their bones becomes weaker and weaker. We have supplements that help the bones take care of back pains, take care of joint pains. If somebody has a fracture it can also help to heal it.

There is also a solution for women who do not menstruate or who have irregular menstruation. A lot of women are suffering in silence because of this problem but at Healthcare, we have a solution for it. And thank God our product are appreciated not only the Nigeria and Africa but in several other continent of the world. The CNN was here two years ago to interview me and showcase my products to the whole world. For five days that programme was running in CNN and the video of Healthcare Herbal Products is also in the website of CNN for anybody to go and see. They came, not because we invited them but because of what they have been hearing about Healthcare Herbal Products…
